About the Program
The Ready to Rebuild: Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery Program is
a joint program of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Council (NDRRMC)-Office of Civil Defense (OCD) and the
World Bank to help national and local governments prepare for
recovery even before disaster happens. Ready to Rebuild is based on
the Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery Planning Guide developed by
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) as the
Council Vice-Chair of Rehabilitation and Recovery. The Planning Guide,
approved by NDRRMC in March 2019, is informed by the country’s
experience in managing large scale disasters and global good
practices in disaster recovery and reconstruction.
The Ready to Rebuild Program covers pre- and post-disaster activities from gathering disaster data,
formulating rehabilitation and recovery plan and its subsequent financing and implementation,
facilitating emergency procurement, crafting a communications strategy, and instituting monitoring
and evaluation mechanisms. The Program will simulate the disaster rehabilitation and recovery
planning process even before a disaster happens and conduct related activities through various
group works that will contribute to expediting the recovery planning and implementation processes.
Participants The training is designed for LGUs composed of local chief executives from the provinces, cities, and
municipalities, local technical staff which may include planners, DRRM officers, and budget officers. The
private sector, academia, civil society organizations and other development partners may also be
included through the LGUs as it will provide them a platform to identify their roles in the recovery and
reconstruction phase after a disaster.
The online design is flexible, but it is recommended to host around 100-150 participants per batch. The
target for the Ready to Rebuild Program this year is 100-120 LGUs, which includes around 500 LGU chief
executives and technical staff to be trained for rehabilitation and recovery planning.
Duration The fourth batch will run from September 7-28, 2021, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sessions will
be held from 1:00 to 5:00PM. Three previous batches were held in April-May, June, and August 2021.
Technical A computer (desktop or laptop) with internet access are needed to participate in the Program.
Requirements
Participants also need a Zoom account (via https://zoom.us) as the training will be delivered through this
videoconferencing platform. Account registration is free.
